In-Game Handbook |
The Skorpion makes a returning appearance in Far Cry 4. It is unlocked at the first store. With the inclusion of the ability to use sidearms from vehicles it becomes one of the better sidearms in the early game, though outside of this role it is rather mediocre. Furthermore, it is considerably less useful than it's Far Cry 3 incarnation as you cannot equip it with a suppressor. However, it beats out the A99 in terms of ammo, as the Skorpion uses SMG ammo, which has a much larger reserve pool than the handgun ammo the A99 draws from.
Signature Version[]
The Stinger is the signature version of the Skorpion. It is unlocked after destroying 2 Pagan's Wrath convoys. The Stinger sports an extended magazine, optical sight, and sound suppressor. This makes it a great weapon for quickly ambushing targets at close range while remaining hidden without having to sacrifice a non-sidearm slot. Although the Rebel deals higher damage and has larger magazines than the Stinger, the Stinger makes up for this in drawing from the player's pool of SMG ammo instead of handgun ammo, which the Rebel burns through very quickly. This makes the Stinger more economical to use, as enemies commonly carry SMG's, thus making resupplies much less vital than with the Rebel.
